SCREW YOUR CHILDREN. VOTE LABOUR.

‘Let`s be realistic. If we want to be honest, do you imagine a hotel operator choosing a Maltese girl over a Swedish girl who can speak four or five languages?’

Is this idiot aware that there are Maltese girls who can speak four or five languages?

And if there weren’t, would it cross his tiny mind to ensure that there will be within five years?

Probably not, because girls with that sort of capability tend not to vote for his sort. And also because the Labour Party has always championed the ignorant. . . and made sure they stayed that way.

[Daphne – It’s not the languages that are the USP in George Vella’s opinion. The clue to what he thinks is the real USP when choosing an employee is in the word ‘Swedish girl’.]

The most worrying part of the interview is the bit when he says: “I am speaking on behalf of George Vella now. This is a personal opinion. I will accept the result of the coming general election”

Is there an alternative to accepting the result of an election in a democratic country?

The mere fact that he had to say that speaks volumes about the perception people have of the PL.

I would be embarrassed and ashamed to have to state that I would accept an electoral defeat.

Then again, with Labour’s track record of governing for a full term when PN had 51% of the votes, it clearly shows that doing the right thing is hardly second nature to PL.

Dr Vella said Malta might get between 6 or 10 million euros a year during the first few years. Let’s for a moment forget that Dr Sant used to say that the maximum we might get is one million a year, but surely Dr Vella should have multiplied his figures by more than 15 times.

Amazing how easily we have forgotten such trash. Six or 10 million a year, he reckoned. And he still shows his face in public?

I got as far as this and my blood froze:

“It (the government) will not be in a position to wake up one morning and decide to take such action (to limit EU nationals seeking jobs in Malta in the first 7 years of accession). The moment the government will take such action, someone feeling that their rights have been infringed would be able to challenge the government at the European Court.”

Clearly he believes that a government should be able to do what it likes, regardless of the law.

I’m 53 so this doesn’t surprise me but anyone who wasn’t old enough to remember the 70s and 80s should read this carefully and think about it.

Laugh? This brings a tear to my eye.

Lest we forget.

Swedish? He probably meant to say Swiss, but got his European countries all mixed up. You know what they say about bloody foreigners – they’re all the same.
